‘While at times suffering can serve to toughen us,
to strengthen us,
at other times it can have value by functioning in the opposite manner-
to soften us,
to make us more sensitve and gentle.
The vulnerability we experience in the midst of suffering
can open us deepen our connection with others.’
– Dalai Lama & Howard C. Cuttter, A Handbook for Living The Art of Connection
‘If you only look at that one event, then it appears bigger and bigger.
If you focus too closely, too intensely, on a problem when it occurs,
it appears uncontrollable.
But if you compare that event with some other greater event,
look at the same problem from a distance,
then it appears smaller and less overwhelming.’
– Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutter, MD., A Handbook for Living The Art of Happiness
